As you may have read in my previous blog post on ExpanDrive 5, it had some great features, but some significant caveats. Now, ExpanDrive 6 is here, released almost 6 months ago (July 5, 2017) it’s had some time to release minor updates and bug fixes. So as a traveller looking to keep my local storage at a minimum while having everything backed up and readily available in the cloud, I’m excited to see what version 6 brings to the table. It comes with claims of being 500% faster and the addition of offline-sync mode. It also adds two new cloud platforms, BackBlaze B2 and Google Team Drive as well as a new user interface.

ExpanDriveクラウド統合の7日間–レビュー
2017年12月17日更新: This review was based on ExpanDrive 5. ExpanDrive 6 has been released with some big changes. 私のレビューをチェック!
I started trialling ExpanDrive 5 to see if, compared to オドライブ, it would be a more or less viable alternative to running all the different cloud synchronising apps for all the different cloud services I use. That includes Dropbox, Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, and OwnCloud. I’m also looking at it as a way of reducing the data footprint of those cloud platforms on my local machine, so not actually storing files locally is a significant benefit here. Manually removing files from synchronising with my various cloud accounts is a pain, especially since there are terabytes of data in my Dropbox and it takes quite a while to load the full folder tree.
ExpanDrive behaves like an external USB attached drive, or more accurately a series of USB attached storage. Each of your cloud storage systems becomes a drive connected to your computer. As long as you are on the internet, you can then enter these storage destinations anytime and access the files on them as you would any other external drive. Similarly, you can save directly to them just like a regular external drive. The only difference is that the speed of access is highly impacted by the speed of your internet connection.

I started trialling Odrive 30 days ago to see if it is a good alternative to running cloud synchronising apps for the many different cloud services I use. Those cloud services include Dropbox, Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, and OwnCloud. I am also looking at ExpanDrive as another possible option. Besides doing away with additional applications, … 続きを読む
Amazon Driveを搭載したMacでArq 5バックアップをセットアップする方法
Arq Backupは、バックグラウンドで実行できるMac用のシンプルなバックアップソリューションを提供し、重要なファイルを選択したクラウドストレージプラットフォームに常にバックアップします。ファイルをローカルで暗号化し、インターネットに接続しているときに変更を定期的にバックアップします。これは、選択したストレージプロバイダーに接続する単なるツールであるため、最高レベルの制御と冗長性を提供するのに適していると思われるバックアップを処理するための多くの柔軟性を提供します。ただし、低コストのクラウドバックアップオプションを提供する最も迅速でシンプルなソリューションは アマゾンドライブ, so I’ve chosen to use it for this tutorial, but you can connect to other cloud storage providers in very similar ways.
